starts slow, picks up speed and intensity
I listened to the book over a three week period. At first, it was a bit dull in the set-up of the main characters. Once however, the women go on their boat trip, the pace picks ups significantly. I couldn't wait to listen each day on my commute to and from work. Some ...
Christmas, Present
Jacquelyn Mitchard
HarperCollins
, 2003
Wisdom for any time of year
What I love about this short novel is its truth. This is life the way it really is. The series of characters surrounding the dying woman are skillfully and unsentimentally drawn. Kids wonder whether they will have enough money to keep the dog, one daughter scolds ...

The genius of this author
The genius of Jacquelyn Mitchard lies not just in the stories that she creates, but in the incredible character development in each and every one of her stories. By the time the book ends, you feel as though you know the characters personally but you are satisfied that ...
Cage of Stars
Jacquelyn Mitchard
Grand Central Publishing
, 2007
Wonderfully written....
If the rating system was based on tears I cried while reading this novel, I would have to give it a thousand stars.... This is the first book I have read by Ms. Mitchard, and I was captivated from the first paragraph; as one reviewer observed, this book practically ...
A Ghost at Heart's Edge: Stories and Poems of Adoption
North Atlantic Books
, 1999
The Most Literate Adoption Reader
As as adoptive mom & as a writer, I find it hard to locate books that satisfy my yearning for both literary fulfillment AND insight into the "triad" that is Adotpion. "Ghost at Heart's Edge" is that rare book; It's elevating intellectually, an imaginative opening (lots ...
The Breakdown Lane

Avon A

Now You See Her
Jacquelyn Mitchard
HarperTeen
, 2008
Beyond Good
Expecting this to be a book I would want my teenage grandchild to read, I went into it thinking it would be fun, light and somewhat less than captivating. I was dead wrong. Took me about two days with a very busy schedule to finish because I was so committed to ...

Jacquelyn Mitchard
Penguin (Non-Classics)

Great cliffhanger--her first book and it is spellbinding
I read this book when it was new and at the time I had a son the age of Ben. I had little time for any reading at the time, but was drawn in every moment I could spare for a few days until I finished it. Amazing for a first novel--extremely well written and ...

The Most Wanted
Jacquelyn Mitchard
Signet
, 1999
The perfect title for a book about love, in all its forms
I never expected to enjoy this book. I bought it at goodwill for about ten cents because I had read The Deep End of the Ocean and thought it was ok. I was shocked by this book. Perhaps because at the time I read it I was only two years older than Arley, our 14 year old ...

Baby Bat's a joy
Baby Bat shines with Jacquelyn Mitchard's lyrical descriptions and Julia Noonan's excellent illustrations. I love Mitchard's writing, but I never expected her to tackle bats! But this paean to Mother Love, with its lovely rhymes and luminous pictures of soaring bats, ...
